A Swedish cohort study of 10,222 men linked adolescent blood pressure to coronary atherosclerosis by CCTA ~40 years later; higher systolic BP in adolescence, even in the ‘elevated’ range, was associated with greater odds of severe (>50%)
The FEED1 trial randomized 2088 infants born at 30+0 to 32+6 weeks to full enteral feeds from day 1 versus gradual feeding with IV support. Full feeds did not shorten hospital stay and showed no increase in necrotising enterocolitis or clin
A multicentre phase 3 trial shows single‑ and multidose EuTCV (Vi‑CRM197) are immunologically non‑inferior to Typbar TCV in infants 9–12 months, with comparable safety and reactogenicity across ages — supporting WHO prequalification.
The multicentre open-label SHINE-1 phase 2 trial found that mirikizumab produced clinically meaningful induction and maintenance responses in children with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, with an acceptable safety profile over 52 wee
In children after primary congenital glaucoma surgery with poor spectacle response, rigid gas‑permeable contact lenses produced greater improvements in worse‑eye visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and near stereoacuity over 12 months comp
A prospective PEDIG cohort found modest long-term vision after lensectomy for pediatric traumatic cataract, low 5-year glaucoma prevalence, and high 5-year surgery rates for visual axis opacification in pseudophakic eyes, especially without
A nationwide English cohort study (n≈13.9M) found transient but significant increases in rare vascular and inflammatory events after first SARS‑CoV‑2 infection and a smaller, short-lived increase in myocarditis/pericarditis after first BNT1
Two randomized trials from Pemba Island show orodispersible ivermectin–albendazole yields dose‑dependent high cure rates in preschool children, and moxidectin–albendazole is superior to albendazole alone in school‑aged children, both with a
The APPROACH randomized trial found once-weekly navepegritide significantly increased annualized growth velocity and produced favorable skeletal alignment and physical-function improvements in children with achondroplasia, with an acceptabl
A pooled individual‑patient meta‑analysis (6056 participants) shows single low‑dose primaquine (0.25 mg/kg) added to ACTs reduces gametocyte carriage and mosquito infectivity across ages and transmission settings without increasing clinical
An 18‑month booster of the VLA15 Lyme vaccine candidate produced strong anamnestic anti‑OspA IgG responses exceeding primary‑series levels in children, adolescents, and adults, with a tolerability profile similar to primary doses.
A nationwide French multicentre cohort (ORIGAMI) documents a substantial 2023–24 paediatric hospitalisation surge from Mycoplasma pneumoniae, identifies older age, asthma, comorbidity and erythema multiforme as ICU risk factors, and highlig
A phase 3 immunobridging study found that a single dose of recombinant quadrivalent influenza vaccine (RIV4) induced non‑inferior HAI responses in 9–17‑year‑olds vs 18–49‑year‑olds, with a comparable safety profile and fewer solicited react
A Finnish registry cohort (n=913,149) found that exposure to same-grade schoolmates’ self-harm modestly increased later self-harm risk (HR 1.05), with the largest effect around age 16 (HR ~1.45), suggesting time-limited social transmi
An umbrella review of systematic reviews finds low to critically low confidence in studies linking prenatal paracetamol exposure to autism or ADHD; sibling-controlled analyses largely attenuate associations. Clinical guidance: use lowest ef
An exploratory analysis of the PATS randomized trial found early adenotonsillectomy reduced 12‑month systolic and diastolic BP percentiles versus watchful waiting in children with mild obstructive sleep‑disordered breathing, with larger DBP
The KATE trial (n=60) found no between-group difference in polysomnographic OAHI change after 3 years, though adenotonsillectomy improved disease-specific quality of life. Nearly 42% of watchful-waiting children later underwent surgery, sug
A multicenter randomized noninferiority trial found that GP observation after pediatric ventilation tube insertion produced audiometric outcomes at 2 years that were noninferior to routine ENT follow-up, with no increase in complications.
Secondary analysis of the PENUT trial found that acute kidney injury (AKI) in infants born at 24–27 weeks’ gestation is independently associated with death or moderate to severe neurodevelopmental impairment at 22–26 months’ corrected
This study explores how changes in residential environments affect childhood BMI, focusing on air pollution, built environment, and socioeconomic factors across cohorts in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Czech Republic.
